"Just another angle to the M. tangle and a board of dummy directors.

I have nothing further to say." This was Henry B. Hane's comment when seen this morning with reference to allegations to the effect that Newton J. Catrow, of Miamis-burg. James S. Webb, of Springfield, and blmeslf, as directors of the Marion Western Railway, Light Power company, and of the Marlon Suburban company, had negligently and carelessly permitted the misapplication of the two corporation's bond Issues of $200,000 and respectively.

The allegations were made by the Louisville Trust company, as assignee of the Franklin bank, of Louisville, and John Raushenberger, of New Albany, Indiana, in petitions filed in the United States district court, in Cincinnati, Wednesday, to recover aggregate sums of The Marlon Western Railway, Light Power company was a John G. Webb corporation and a line was to have been constructed from Prospect to Rlchwood. A part of the right-of-way was secured and the options were allowed to lapse. The Marlon Suburban Railway company, another John G. Webb corporation, was to extend lines into Marion's suburbs, running out Silver and Lee streets.

James S. Webb is a brother of John G. Webb. According to the petition of the Louisville Trust company, the Marion Western Railway, Light Pow er company, October 1, 1906, executed and delivered to the Cincinnati Trust company, of this city, as trustee, 400 flve-per-cent gold bonds of the denomination of $500 each, payable in Cincinnati, October 1, 1936, with interest at five per cent, per annum, semi-annually on the first days of April and October. These bonds were Issued to finance the building of the road from Prospect to Richwood, a distance of six and a half miles.

A blanket mortgage on all property of the company was given to secure the bond issue. The Louisville Trust company complains that, as assignee of Franklin bank, it holds $18,000 ttf t. A in me sum 01 It Is reported that a suit for an accounting of the moneya received by the two companies on the bond issues will be filed in the United States district court In Cincinnati within the next few days; that the petition is now being prepared, and that sensational allegations will be made by the complainants in the proposed action. According to officials of the defunct Cincinnati Trust company, that Institution acted simply as trustee of the registrars of the bonds. It is understood that the bulk of both bond issues was placed at par soon after they were put on the market.

It is said that while the bonds were secured by a blanket mortgage on all property of the two companies, neither company has any assets.

Tented Dramatic Company. A dramatic company under canvas Is somewhat of a novelty and that is one of the reasons the Minnelli Bros, have been so successful the past 10 years. This great attraction will open a week's engagement on the Prospect street lot Just north of the fire Monday, Aug. 26th, in a splendid version of the beautiful four-act play, "Lena Rivers," presenting Dainty Mina Gennell in the title role, assisted by her splendid supporting company of twenty capable actors. There will be specialties between the acts no long.walts- and a high-grade performance is promised.

Two car loads of scenery, twenty acting people, 2,000 comfortable chairs, easily make this company the best of its kind in exlstance. The prices are 10 and 20 cents wl'h ladies 15 cents on opening night only. A sort of bargain performance for the ladles. This Is not a carnival, but a dramatic company with a reputation, where the very best order Is maintained and where ladies will receive every courtesy. A long, pleasing performance for mighty little money.

Inasmuch as Marlon h3s no theater and has not had a dramatic performance for some-time this attraction should do a big business. Mr. Minnelli has promised to play a return date Fair week. 1-c Our peach crop arrived. They are fine at $1.50 and $1.75.

22. "One-round" Hogan and Willie Ritchie have been' matched by Jim Co ff roth for a fight here, September 9, and this, with the promised battle between Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fire man, and Charlie Miller for Labor day, gives western fight fans the promise of two good shows. Much interest was aroused by the announcement of the cards, and the preliminary work of Flynn and Miller, scheduled to begin at once, will be watched closely. The Pueblo scrapper recently fought Jack Johnson at Las Vegas. Jack Is Offered 050,000.

Milwaukee, Aug. 22. That Jack Johnson has been offered to go to Australia and fight Sam Langford and Sam McVey, is the statement of T. 8. Andrews, rep- resentative here of Hugh Mcintosh.

Moreover, Andrews says, in spite of statements to the contrary by Johnson, the offer Is still good. 'The fact is," says Andrews, "Johnson signed a contract to meet these two men for $45,000 and $5,000 expense money and three tickets to Australia. This is the same as $50,000 for the two bouts. Mcintosh wanted to post $10,000 In a Chicago bank. Jack objected.

He wanted Al. Tearney made stakeholder, and insisted that the $5,000 expense money be put up All Mcintosh asks is a guarantee that Jack will come to Australia and keep the engagement." To Act On New York, Aug. 22 At a meeting of the state boxing commission, scheduled to be held this afternoon, action will be taken on the application of JesRe and Edward Mc- Mahon, of the St. Nicholas Athletic club to stage the bout between Champion Jack Johnson and Joe Jeannette here, September 25. The McMahons expected their application to be taken up at yesterday's meet ing but it was not.

A decision is expected very soon after arguments are made. O'Keefe Itadly Beaten. New York, Aug. 22 Tommy O'Keefe returned to Philadelphia today, a sadder and wiser light weight, as the result of his effort to take Leach Crosse's number in a ten round bout at the St. Nicholas rink last night.

The Phlladelphlan tore Into his opponent In the first part of the fight, but soon tired himself out. The New Yorker boxed warily. and soon had his opponent at his mercy. In the first round. Cross brought down a round of hisses on himself by slipping to his knees and trying to slip over a foul punch.

James J. Coffey, who claims the heavyweight championship of Ireland, won a technical knockout over Jack Rowan In the middle of the fourth round when, the referee stopped the bout.
